"The person who carefully designs their daily routine goes further than the person who negotiates with themselves every day. Let inertia work for you" - a Tiny Thought from Farnam Street: https://fs.blog/brain-food/october-6-2024/

Loving this post by Seth Godin the other day. Inspired me to sharpen some of my tools, which have been even more delightful to use since https://seths.blog/2024/09/sharp-tools/ #emacs

@howard oh wow! I regularly check the play store for a decent version of Emacs for Android, but can't believe I didn't think to check FDroid. Thank you!!!

@Aphelion your poetry hits every single time ❤️

@mikemathia you do realise you're spreading propaganda?

It might be worth verifying claims. Especially given you're in infosec...

@HamonWry a lot of atheists I know aren't decent people at all. They've just replaced religion with social justice so they can feel morally superior while running around yelling at people (and worse)

"There’s no such thing as work life balance. There’s simply life. And you spend part of your life at work." - Seth Godin

“Entropy applies to every part of our lives. ... Understanding entropy leads to a radical change in the way we see the world. Ignorance of it is responsible for many of our biggest mistakes and failures. We cannot expect anything to stay the way we leave it. To maintain our health, relationships, careers, skills, knowledge, societies, and possessions requires never-ending effort and vigilance. Disorder is ... our default. Order is always artificial and temporary.”

@allrite @engagedpractx like I said, they're called DMs not PMs. Like you said earlier, they're not private on other services either. There may be greater repercussions when enterprise breaks user trust due to laws in certain territories, but they're still legally using your data to train AI, serve you ads, etc etc. The proposal that we remove DMs because they aren't totally secure is roughly equivalent to suggesting we should get rid of electronic payments for the same reason
